Mind and Body
Mind and Body is a podcast funded by Aspers Casino, with its Aspers Good Causes Fund in Newham, London. The Aspers Good Causes Fund has made it possible for the Drop In Bereavement Centre to provide a series of 5 Grief Podcasts, part of the Finding Hope Staying Well-being Activities for the bereaved local community who had experienced single/multiple losses to COVID-19. The Drop In Bereavement Centre received a total of 100 GP referrals for residents of Newham during the period between March 2020 - December 2021 to provide support and continuity of the well-being activities. We cannot thank The Aspers Good Causes Fund enough for supporting the bereaved through their journey.

Not talking about positive thinking, or being delusional and naive, but rather about knowing that things are looking up and, even if the virus is here to stay, we can -and we will- find a way to live with it.
